VISUAL ARTS ESSENTIAL SKILLS
FOUNDATION STATEMENT
VISUAL ARTS ESSENTIAL SKILLS
FOUNDATION STATEMENT
Introduction
Weare building the future. It is a future of constant
change, swift technological development, and intellec­tual
inventiveness.
We must help our children to develop the self­discipline,
the perception, the imagination, and the
necessary communication skills demanded by the
future they will face and we will share. The visual
arts build self- discipline, help us create, and develop
nonverbal thinking skills which mvolve perception,
fonning images, and imagination.
It is the mission of the State Department of EducatlOn
to prOVide the highest quality education for the
children of Arizona. This includes the art educatIon of
each child. Each student should have access to a
quality art education program which mcludes art as a
discipline involving a definite body of knowledge
developed through scope and sequence.
Quality Components
The quality components of art education are:
Creative Art Expression- Creative Expression includes
hands on visual arts experiences motivated by the
lesson's objectives that will produce as many visually
unique and/ or individual art solutIons as there are
students in the class.
Aesthetic Assessment-- Aesthetic Assessment is the
ability to describe, interpret, and evaluate art works
created by oneself and others, and to communicate
one's perceptions verbally and in writing.
nja505
Art in Cultural Heritage- Art in Cultural Heritage is
the study and appreciation of art and artists within the
context of the past an present cultures. World
cultures should include the entire global community
and attention should be paid to the cultural diversity
of Arizona.
These goals are endorsed by the National Art
Education Association.
This report is the foundation for quality Visual Arts
Programs around the state of Arizona.
The mstruction in Visual Arts should provide for the
sequenced learning of thinking skills, which includes
know ledge, comprehension, application, analysis,
synthesis, and evaluation. This may be accomplished
through the integration of Creative Art Expression,
Art in Cultural Heritage, and Aesthetic Assessment
components of art.
Using these approaches, visual arts education should
demonstrate that there are multiple ways to solve a
problem. This principle can be applied to areas of art
instruction such as production, media selection,
Critical analysis, and art appreciation. Problem
solvmg can be taught through the encouragement of
experimentation, risk taking, and the acceptance of
views other than one's own.
Analysis of a work of art is a vital part of the visual
arts experience, and should be part of instruction in
3
Quality Components ( Continued)
historical, studio, and cultural contexts. Art history
and art in cultural heritage are essential to the under­standing
of our past, our present, and the future we
hope to build.
Creative art production is the application of art
processes, concepts, and media to create a purposeful
art experience. The development of application
processes leads to the ability to distinguish various
forms and elements of art, and communicate these
intellectual judgments. Further, combmation of these
elements with philosophical and historical appreciation
forms the basis for aesthetic apprecIation.
In order to achieve these levels of knowledge and
appreciation, there are several instructional methods
which may be applied. Each child should be introduced
to studio. situations which require selections that allow
for mdividual differences. Partlcular effort should be
given to addressing the needs of the speClal education
populatlOn, such as the physically handicapped,
mentally handicapped, emotionally handicapped,
learning disabled and gifted. ThIS mcludes curriculum
areas mvolving media that mclude drawmg, sculpture,
painting, graphics, crafts, photography, filmmaking,
video, and environmental design.
Background for these situations can be integrated from
social studies, anthropology, mathematics, science,
and other art classes, emphasizmg the relationship of
art to the growth of the human spirit and Intellect.
Organizing a curnculum of thIS scope requires the
development of sequences sImilar to socIal studies and
language arts, incorporating increasingly complex
concepts at each higher grade level. Specialists
familiar with child development could playa role in
IlJa505
assuring flexibility 10 relevant aspects of the
curriculum. Evaluation should be made as simple as
possible through clear grade leve: l organization.
Evaluations of students' works should also be included
in the curriculum, allowing the student to develop the
critlCal analysis necessary to deal with the processes
involved in judgment and aesthetics. Display of
student artwork should be encouraged at all levels.
Creative Art Expression, Aesthetic Assessment, and
Art in Cultural Heritage are the three main areas of
curriculum development which form quality
components of Art Education, transmitting an
appreciation of the role of art in our society, and
encouraging personal fulfillment and expression
through art experiences.
Careers in arts should be part of, but not the goal of,
the Visual Arts program. At the elementary and
secondary levels, students should become familiar with
the various occupatIOns available in the Visual Arts.
Students should also develop aesthetic awareness, the
ability to. discuss, understand, and critique man- made
and natural environments. They should develop
confidence in personal expression through their own
work as well as appreciation of the works of others.
All the arts- Music, Drama/ Theatre, Dance and Visual
arts shOUld be taught at the elementary school level.
Introductory Visual Arts classes should be made avail­able
to all high school students. Instructors for these
programs shOUld be certified art endorsed specialists.
4
Quality Components ( Continued)
Partnerships between art endorsed specialists and
classroom teachers at the elementary level need to be
formed in order to develop quality art experiences for
all students. Quality programs at all levels should
include a partnership among teachers, art endorsed
specialists, artists, community, and cultural
resources.
Teacher evaluation is another factor that should be
built into the curriculum, using as guidelines a
structure that delineates what should be taught at
various grade levels. This allows a checklist type of
evaluation to be developed to determine if students
have learned the material outlined by the curriculum.
BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Provide teachers. a written scope and sequence
guide for Visual Arts programs. ( District
Responsibility)
The importance of the arts in truly educating a
successful member of society must be recognized. the
following are recommendations for integrating quality
Visual Arts programs into Arizona schools:
Testing the knowledge of art can be accomplished
through a variety of methods. Games, role playing,
visuals, verbal, and written skills should be used to
demonstrate histOrical, cultural, and analytical aspects
of art.
with
and
guide
Arts
Develop a program which includes Fine Arts
teachers and supervisors. ( District
Responsibili ty)
Provide an administrator's
recommendations for Visual
facilities. ( ADE Responsibility)
Small and rural schools need to have access to
art teacher staff development and other means
to develop quality arts programs. ( ADE and
District Responsibility)
2.

3.
Each district's accountability and evaluation must be
built into the program. ThiS will allow the local
districts to work within the scope of quality cur­riculum,
providing ongomg evaluatIOn for its own
benefit and the benefit of people who may choose to
move into the district.
These partnerships can provide the base for reinforcing
our cultural heritage, the worth of the individual, and
the individual's relationship to the world. All of the
members of the partnerships can become representa­!
lves for the Visual Arts programs. Funds need to be
developed to support Visual Art programs and teacher
cadres ( staff development), whIch will enhance Arts
Educatlon.
Public awareness can be further developed as
community art support groups communicate with
various segments of local districts.
Small and rural school districts are encouraged to
contact the Department of Education, Fine Arts
Specialist, the Arizona CommissIOn on the Arts, and
the Arizona Art Education AssociatIOn for resources
and reference informatlOn. Teachers are encouraged
to use their special mterests and skills whenever
appropriate, and to draw upon the special interests and
skills within the commumty.

nJa505
Develop access for all elementary, junior high,
middle, and high school students to receive
instruction in visual arts programs. Appropriate
time allocations would include a minimum of
100- 120 minutes per week at elementary level
and 225 per week at junior high and senior high
levels. ( District Responsibility) The minimum
length of time for individual art lessons should
be 50 minutes. The maximum number of classes
taught by the art specialist in a given day
should be five ( 5).
Include an mtroductory class concermng
production, aesthetIc assessment, and art m
cultural heritage m junIOr high, mIddle, and high
school curricula. ( District Responsibility)
Develop a means to mOnltor compliance with
Visual Art program standards. ( ADE
Responsibility)
Certified K- 12 art endorsed teachers should be
the primary deliverers of Visual Arts
instruction. ( District and State Certification
Responsibility)
Include Fine Arts credit as high school
graduation and/ or college entrance require­ments.
( ADE and District Responsibility)
Work with the legislature to develop a budget of
specific funds for arts education. Ideally, a
visual arts education program should be funded
completely and fully by the State Legislature of
Anzona. Realistically, we need to find ways to
use eXIstIng funds and facilities to provide the
best possible compliance wIth our gUIdelines.
In the meantime, Arts advocacy must be the
responsibility of arts educators, administrators, school
boards, parents and taxpayers. ( ADE Responsibility)
The quality of life and the nurturing of the human
spirit and intellect are inseparably intertwined. Self­esteem
is an integral aspect of this quality we seek to
aChieve. Art education can increase self- esteem by
creating a sense of originality and individualism
through experimentation into various media and
unexplored forms of creation. It can help to create a
sense of control and decIsion making power to solve
conceptual problems, While creating a sense of balance
between the affective and cognitive learning
domains. Art education can give a sense of connection
and symmetry to the students' understanding of the
human experiences, both past and present. Art educa­tion
can help stimulate the sensitivity and imagination
to create a fruitful future.
Basis of the Document
The mtent of thIS document IS to provide local school
distrIcts with a guide of current knowledge in the
Visual Arts, by utilizing this guide, districts should be
able to develop their own curriculum document which
meets the needs of their students. Since each school
district in Arizona is unique, each district should
develop its own curriculum document reflecting the
Visual Arts Essential Skills Document as the individual
district feels appropriate. All essential skills should be
mcluded.
This document is a broad- based document which
mcludes all of the quality components set forth by the
National Art Education Association. The Visual Art
Essential Skills Committee has elected to maintain the
three components developed in the 1985 VisualArts

Basis of the DOCument ( Continued)
Sequenced Curriculum Guide, Grades 1- 6. These
Components are: . Art in Cultural Heritage, Aesthetic
Assessment and Creative Art Expression. The
committee further reserved the chOiCe of approach to
visual art education to the local school district. Local
distrIcts may elect to develop a document which
reflects anyone of the following approaches: Disci­plined
Based; Historical Based; Studio Based; Visual
Perceptually Based or any other approach which con­tain
all of the quality components. The Department of
Education will provide assistance, upon request, to
local school districts.

VISUAL ARTS ESSENTIAL SKILLS
FOUNDATION STATEMENT
VISUAL ARTS ESSENTIAL SKILLS
FOUNDATION STATEMENT
Introduction
Weare building the future. It is a future of constant
change, swift technological development, and intellec­tual
inventiveness.
We must help our children to develop the self­discipline,
the perception, the imagination, and the
necessary communication skills demanded by the
future they will face and we will share. The visual
arts build self- discipline, help us create, and develop
nonverbal thinking skills which mvolve perception,
fonning images, and imagination.
It is the mission of the State Department of EducatlOn
to prOVide the highest quality education for the
children of Arizona. This includes the art educatIon of
each child. Each student should have access to a
quality art education program which mcludes art as a
discipline involving a definite body of knowledge
developed through scope and sequence.
Quality Components
The quality components of art education are:
Creative Art Expression- Creative Expression includes
hands on visual arts experiences motivated by the
lesson's objectives that will produce as many visually
unique and/ or individual art solutIons as there are
students in the class.
Aesthetic Assessment-- Aesthetic Assessment is the
ability to describe, interpret, and evaluate art works
created by oneself and others, and to communicate
one's perceptions verbally and in writing.
nja505
Art in Cultural Heritage- Art in Cultural Heritage is
the study and appreciation of art and artists within the
context of the past an present cultures. World
cultures should include the entire global community
and attention should be paid to the cultural diversity
of Arizona.
These goals are endorsed by the National Art
Education Association.
This report is the foundation for quality Visual Arts
Programs around the state of Arizona.
The mstruction in Visual Arts should provide for the
sequenced learning of thinking skills, which includes
know ledge, comprehension, application, analysis,
synthesis, and evaluation. This may be accomplished
through the integration of Creative Art Expression,
Art in Cultural Heritage, and Aesthetic Assessment
components of art.
Using these approaches, visual arts education should
demonstrate that there are multiple ways to solve a
problem. This principle can be applied to areas of art
instruction such as production, media selection,
Critical analysis, and art appreciation. Problem
solvmg can be taught through the encouragement of
experimentation, risk taking, and the acceptance of
views other than one's own.
Analysis of a work of art is a vital part of the visual

historical, studio, and cultural contexts. Art history
and art in cultural heritage are essential to the under­standing
of our past, our present, and the future we
hope to build.
Creative art production is the application of art
processes, concepts, and media to create a purposeful
art experience. The development of application
processes leads to the ability to distinguish various
forms and elements of art, and communicate these
intellectual judgments. Further, combmation of these
elements with philosophical and historical appreciation
forms the basis for aesthetic apprecIation.
In order to achieve these levels of knowledge and
appreciation, there are several instructional methods
which may be applied. Each child should be introduced
to studio. situations which require selections that allow
for mdividual differences. Partlcular effort should be
given to addressing the needs of the speClal education
populatlOn, such as the physically handicapped,
mentally handicapped, emotionally handicapped,
learning disabled and gifted. ThIS mcludes curriculum
areas mvolving media that mclude drawmg, sculpture,
painting, graphics, crafts, photography, filmmaking,
video, and environmental design.
Background for these situations can be integrated from
social studies, anthropology, mathematics, science,
and other art classes, emphasizmg the relationship of
art to the growth of the human spirit and Intellect.
Organizing a curnculum of thIS scope requires the
development of sequences sImilar to socIal studies and
language arts, incorporating increasingly complex
concepts at each higher grade level. Specialists
familiar with child development could playa role in
IlJa505
assuring flexibility 10 relevant aspects of the
curriculum. Evaluation should be made as simple as
possible through clear grade leve: l organization.
Evaluations of students' works should also be included
in the curriculum, allowing the student to develop the
critlCal analysis necessary to deal with the processes
involved in judgment and aesthetics. Display of
student artwork should be encouraged at all levels.
Creative Art Expression, Aesthetic Assessment, and
Art in Cultural Heritage are the three main areas of
curriculum development which form quality
components of Art Education, transmitting an
appreciation of the role of art in our society, and
encouraging personal fulfillment and expression
through art experiences.
Careers in arts should be part of, but not the goal of,
the Visual Arts program. At the elementary and
secondary levels, students should become familiar with
the various occupatIOns available in the Visual Arts.
Students should also develop aesthetic awareness, the
ability to. discuss, understand, and critique man- made
and natural environments. They should develop
confidence in personal expression through their own
work as well as appreciation of the works of others.
All the arts- Music, Drama/ Theatre, Dance and Visual
arts shOUld be taught at the elementary school level.
Introductory Visual Arts classes should be made avail­able
to all high school students. Instructors for these
programs shOUld be certified art endorsed specialists.

Quality Components ( Continued)
Partnerships between art endorsed specialists and
classroom teachers at the elementary level need to be
formed in order to develop quality art experiences for
all students. Quality programs at all levels should
include a partnership among teachers, art endorsed
specialists, artists, community, and cultural
resources.
Teacher evaluation is another factor that should be
built into the curriculum, using as guidelines a
structure that delineates what should be taught at
various grade levels. This allows a checklist type of
evaluation to be developed to determine if students
have learned the material outlined by the curriculum.
BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Provide teachers. a written scope and sequence
guide for Visual Arts programs. ( District
Responsibility)
The importance of the arts in truly educating a
successful member of society must be recognized. the
following are recommendations for integrating quality
Visual Arts programs into Arizona schools:
Testing the knowledge of art can be accomplished
through a variety of methods. Games, role playing,
visuals, verbal, and written skills should be used to
demonstrate histOrical, cultural, and analytical aspects
of art.

Develop a program which includes Fine Arts
teachers and supervisors. ( District
Responsibili ty)
Provide an administrator's
recommendations for Visual
facilities. ( ADE Responsibility)
Small and rural schools need to have access to
art teacher staff development and other means
to develop quality arts programs. ( ADE and
District Responsibility)

Each district's accountability and evaluation must be
built into the program. ThiS will allow the local
districts to work within the scope of quality cur­riculum,
providing ongomg evaluatIOn for its own
benefit and the benefit of people who may choose to
move into the district.
These partnerships can provide the base for reinforcing
our cultural heritage, the worth of the individual, and
the individual's relationship to the world. All of the
members of the partnerships can become representa­!
lves for the Visual Arts programs. Funds need to be
developed to support Visual Art programs and teacher
cadres ( staff development), whIch will enhance Arts
Educatlon.
Public awareness can be further developed as
community art support groups communicate with
various segments of local districts.
Small and rural school districts are encouraged to
contact the Department of Education, Fine Arts
Specialist, the Arizona CommissIOn on the Arts, and
the Arizona Art Education AssociatIOn for resources
and reference informatlOn. Teachers are encouraged
to use their special mterests and skills whenever
appropriate, and to draw upon the special interests and
skills within the commumty.

Develop access for all elementary, junior high,
middle, and high school students to receive
instruction in visual arts programs. Appropriate
time allocations would include a minimum of
100- 120 minutes per week at elementary level
and 225 per week at junior high and senior high
levels. ( District Responsibility) The minimum
length of time for individual art lessons should
be 50 minutes. The maximum number of classes
taught by the art specialist in a given day
should be five ( 5).
Include an mtroductory class concermng
production, aesthetIc assessment, and art m
cultural heritage m junIOr high, mIddle, and high
school curricula. ( District Responsibility)
Develop a means to mOnltor compliance with
Visual Art program standards. ( ADE
Responsibility)
Certified K- 12 art endorsed teachers should be
the primary deliverers of Visual Arts
instruction. ( District and State Certification
Responsibility)
Include Fine Arts credit as high school
graduation and/ or college entrance require­ments.
( ADE and District Responsibility)
Work with the legislature to develop a budget of
specific funds for arts education. Ideally, a
visual arts education program should be funded
completely and fully by the State Legislature of
Anzona. Realistically, we need to find ways to
use eXIstIng funds and facilities to provide the
best possible compliance wIth our gUIdelines.
In the meantime, Arts advocacy must be the
responsibility of arts educators, administrators, school
boards, parents and taxpayers. ( ADE Responsibility)
The quality of life and the nurturing of the human
spirit and intellect are inseparably intertwined. Self­esteem
is an integral aspect of this quality we seek to
aChieve. Art education can increase self- esteem by
creating a sense of originality and individualism
through experimentation into various media and
unexplored forms of creation. It can help to create a
sense of control and decIsion making power to solve
conceptual problems, While creating a sense of balance
between the affective and cognitive learning
domains. Art education can give a sense of connection
and symmetry to the students' understanding of the
human experiences, both past and present. Art educa­tion
can help stimulate the sensitivity and imagination
to create a fruitful future.
Basis of the Document
The mtent of thIS document IS to provide local school
distrIcts with a guide of current knowledge in the
Visual Arts, by utilizing this guide, districts should be
able to develop their own curriculum document which
meets the needs of their students. Since each school
district in Arizona is unique, each district should
develop its own curriculum document reflecting the
Visual Arts Essential Skills Document as the individual
district feels appropriate. All essential skills should be
mcluded.
This document is a broad- based document which
mcludes all of the quality components set forth by the
National Art Education Association. The Visual Art
Essential Skills Committee has elected to maintain the
three components developed in the 1985 VisualArts

Basis of the DOCument ( Continued)
Sequenced Curriculum Guide, Grades 1- 6. These
Components are: . Art in Cultural Heritage, Aesthetic
Assessment and Creative Art Expression. The
committee further reserved the chOiCe of approach to
visual art education to the local school district. Local
distrIcts may elect to develop a document which
reflects anyone of the following approaches: Disci­plined
Based; Historical Based; Studio Based; Visual
Perceptually Based or any other approach which con­tain
all of the quality components. The Department of
Education will provide assistance, upon request, to
local school districts.

VISUAL ART ESSENTIAL SKILLS ( continued)
LEVEL: High School COMPONENT: AESTHETIC ASSESSMENT
GOAL: B. To develop a base for informed perceptions and judgments about visual art by examining tlhe criteria for the description, analysis,
interpretation, and evaluation of works of art ( continued)
OBJECTIVE PROCESSES AND SKILLS
4. Judgment- decide on the value of an art object.
Make a decision about the artwork's attainments
and accomplishments or the lack of them in the
history of art- past and present
a. Personal Preference
Choice irrespective of its value or significance
in the world at large
b. Criterion, Critical Judgment
( 1) Criterion IS a standard by which something
IS judged
( 2) Difficulty lies in deciding what to use for
these standards by which something is
judged
c. Developing Criteria- several gUidelines:
( 1) Standards used as criteria should not
arbitrarily exclude the informed opinion
of experts in the field
( 2) Major concepts of art in world cultures and
their corresponding criteria should not be
excluded in the development of standards
for criteria
( 3) Set up standards for criteria, taking care to
allow for and recognize different forms of
excellence in art
( 4) Standards used for criteria must also be
appropriate to the artwork
( 5) Flexibility may also be required when
setting up standards for criteria. Artworks
